The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments over whether municipal code and zoning enforcement officers are management-level employees who are excluded from collective bargaining activities.

In January, the Commonwealth Court ruled 2-1 to overturn a decision from the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board denying Exeter Township’s request for clarification under the Pennsylvania Employee Relations Act as to whether code and zoning officials are to be excluded from collective bargaining. Judges Michael H. Wojcik and P. Kevin Brobson voted to overturn, while Judge Dan Pellegrini issued a dissent to the decision.
